The bathroom (Toilet, WC) is a space that receives increasing attention in modern homes. It not only influences the architecture but also has a significant impact on Feng Shui. Understanding these 11 Feng Shui taboos in bathroom hygiene is crucial to avoid negative Feng Shui effects.
1. Avoid positioning the bathroom door directly across from the main entrance or bedroom door. When energy flows directly into the bathroom, it can carry negative energy from the bathroom throughout the house. The same principle applies when the bathroom door is directly across from the bedroom door.
Resolution: Change the position of the toilet door or install a self-closing hinge to keep the door closed when not in use.
2. Avoid placing the bathroom door directly across from the kitchen. This arrangement makes it easy for bacteria to travel directly into the food being prepared in the kitchen, making it challenging to enjoy a delicious meal. Additionally, the bathroom, with its Water elemental energy, can counteract the Fire energy of the kitchen.
Resolution: Implement the solution mentioned above.
3. Avoid positioning the bathroom door directly across from the staircase. Polluted air tends to follow the staircase, spreading to other floors if the bathroom door is positioned in this way.
Resolution: Implement the solution mentioned above.
4. Avoid placing the bathroom door directly across from the bedroom. No one wants to inhale bathroom odors continuously for 8 hours a day with this arrangement.
Resolution: Implement the solution mentioned above, or consider relocating the bed.
5. Avoid positioning the bathroom door directly across from the altar. The sacred space for worship requires solemnity, making this arrangement a major Feng Shui taboo.
Resolution: Implement the solution mentioned above, or consider relocating the altar.
6. It's essential for the altar to be positioned above the bathroom for absolute cleanliness, both literally and metaphorically. However, if the prayer room is on the upper floor and is directly above the bathroom on the lower floor, it is considered less ideal.
Resolution: Consider changing the altar's location to avoid being directly above the bathroom.
7. Placing the bathroom above the prayer altar, bed, or kitchen disrupts the harmonious energy flow. Imagine having a negative space right above your head; it's hardly conducive to comfort.
Resolution: Adjust the position of the toilet or relocate the kitchen, bed, and altar, ensuring they are not on the same straight axis.
8. Avoid placing the head of the bed, altar, and kitchen against the bathroom wall. It's not just about being on top; having the bathroom adjacent to spaces that require cleanliness and tranquility is something to steer clear of.
Resolution: Consider relocating the kitchen, bed, or altar away from the bathroom.
9. Placing the bathroom at the center of the house is akin to compressing the heart of the home with unclean elements.
Resolution: Change the position of the toilet to maintain the purity of the central space in the house.
10. Avoid placing the bathroom beneath the staircase. Staircases channel energy vertically, and if the bathroom is dirty and positioned beneath the stairs, it's like spreading undesirable energy across the floors.
Resolution: If situated under the stairs without proper ventilation for the toilet, consider relocating it to a different spot.
11. Refrain from placing the bathroom right at the entrance of the house, a common issue in apartments. If the bathroom at the front gets dirty, it can contaminate the entire home with bacteria.
Resolution: For houses, relocate the toilet. For apartments, install an automatic closing hinge for the door to keep it shut when not in use.
Conclusion: Regardless of where your bathroom is located, if it's dirty, damp, and foul-smelling, it will undoubtedly impact your health, leading to a decrease in physical well-being and a sour mood. We spend an average of 30 minutes a day, with some cases exceeding a few hours, in this space. This duration is long enough to cause significant negative effects on users if the room is full of harmful bacteria. The unclean bathroom brings forth numerous prohibitions mentioned above.
Most effective resolution: A clean and well-ventilated bathroom is a mandatory criterion for good feng shui. When the bathroom becomes a place of comfort for you, that is the best resolution for all the prohibitions, and you can completely disregard the beliefs outlined in this article.
To enhance the energy and eliminate negative vibes in the bathroom, consider the following:
– Design the bathroom to have exposure to natural light to prevent bacterial growth. In enclosed spaces, ensure there is proper ventilation, possibly with the use of an exhaust fan.
– Maintain the habit of cleaning and sanitizing this space daily.
– When designing, ensure a clear separation between dry and wet areas.
– Place air-purifying plants and aromatic oil diffusers in the bathroom to create a fresh and pleasant atmosphere.
